Reminder: Annual Meeting, 9/10/24 at 6:30 PM

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, September 10 at 6:30 PM for the 2024 annual meeting.

Connection instructions will come out after Labor Day. 

Pump Station Update

Since the last newsletter, the sewer pumps have undergone pumping and maintenance to fix a part issue and address a blockage. 

** Please be mindful of what goes down the drains and toilets. Thicker items such as paper towels can get caught in the pump mechanism.**

During this work, we discovered that water hadn't been connected to the pump station. Riverwards has addressed that with the Water Department and we now have a meter in place.

Dearnley Park Civic Association

The Dearnley Park Civic Association will hold its first organization meeting on September 18 at 7 PM via Zoom. For connection details and to learn more, reach out to Dorothy French.

Do You Have Contractors/Trusted Resources You Recommend?

If you've had a good experience with a plumber, electrician, fixit person, landscaper, or other and want to recommend him/her to the community, please forward the information to Christine to add to the Roxborough Reserve Resources page.

We wish you an exciting Back-to-School and a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

Regards,

Your Roxborough Reserve Representatives
